Notes that apply by 40

  • Cat Form at 20: Claw (140% weapon damage), Rake, Ferocious Bite (rank 1 at 24 now). Feral Swiftness is 30% speed in Cat Form, your mount until 40.
  • Shred is 200% weapon damage from behind; Shredding Attacks makes it cheap. Predatory Discipline lets Ferocious Bite keep leftover Energy.
  • Shifting Power at 40 converts mana into 40 Energy on demand, which is the Cat equivalent of a second Energy bar. Leader of the Pack is party crit.
  • Bear Form for elites: threat is 115% now and Lacerate (talent) is the single-target builder. Poised arrives at 32 for cheaper openers.
